Roadmap

A public, high-level view of where Nerospace is and where it's going. 1.0.0 is the first full release — the complete progression from the first nerosium ore to a terraformed planet ships in it. (Release notes live in the repo's CHANGELOG.md.)

✅ Shipped in 1.0.0#

Materials & machines

• Nerosium material chain (ore → raw → ingot → dust) and the Nerosium Grinder (double ore yield).

• Planetary materials: Nerosteel + Xertz Quartz (Greenxertz), Cindrite (Cindara),

  Glacite (Glacira).

• The Fuel Refinery (coal + blaze powder + power → pipeable rocket fuel), storage blocks,

  station blocks, themed machine GUIs with animated gauges + comparator output.

• Common c: tags and tag-based recipes throughout, capability automation on every machine face.

Space travel

• Rockets Tier 1–4 with bespoke per-tier models and an interactive in-rocket UI.

• The 3×3 Launch Pad and the Heavy Launch Complex (5×5 + Launch Gantry) with formation

  reports; Tier 3 takes the Station Wall ring or the Heavy complex, Tier 4 needs the Heavy complex.

• Auto-fuelling Fuel Tanks (up to 480 mB/t) and hands-free fuel feeding through pad blocks.

• Destinations: Orbital Station, Greenxertz, Cindara, Glacira — plus

  player-founded stations via the Station Charter (up to 64 per world).

Survival & atmosphere

• Airless dimensions with a per-block oxygen field (sealed rooms, leaks, doors/glass as

  boundaries), the grid-powered electrolysis Oxygen Generator, airlock refills, and an O₂ HUD.

• The Oxygen Suit in two tiers plus Thermal and Cryo hazard variants (Cindara heat /

  Glacira cold = ×4 drain unprotected).

Terraforming & life

• The Terraformer with staged maturation — Rooted → Hydrated → Living — a glacite-fed water

  cycle (Hydration Module), mature per-planet biomes with real weather, and the Terraform Monitor.

• Eight bespoke creatures: five natives + three breedable livestock species on Living ground.

Progression & tooling

• The Star Guide interactive progression tree (7 chapters / 31 steps) backed by a full

  advancement tree; the creative /nerospace gallery showcase; a 36+-test gametest suite.

JEI & EMI integration

• With JEI installed, the grinder, fuel refinery and combustion generator show their own recipe categories (standard recipes/tags already worked out of the box).
• EMI gets the same three pages from a native EMI plugin. Official EMI has no Minecraft 26.x release, so this targets the community EMI Unofficial Port (Unstable) on NeoForge and Fabric (26.1.2, 26.2, 26.3); that port has no Forge build. With JEI and EMI both installed, the pages appear once.

Solar Panels

• Solar Panels — sun-tracking, array-pooling power generation across three tiers

  (Tier 1 1×1, Tier 2 2×2, Tier 3 3×3 multiblocks), each folding the previous panel into its recipe.

🛠️ Next up (first post-1.0 updates)#

• Balance tuning from player feedback — the config multipliers make this cheap.
• Bespoke audio to replace the vanilla-alias placeholders.

🔭 Planned / exploring#

See Future Features.

⏳ Deferred#

• Bespoke, mod-specific integration waits until those mods port to Minecraft 26.1. Nerospace is

  standalone by design, and the generic half is already done: energy, fluids and items ride the platform-standard capabilities and lookups on all three loaders, so anything else using them connects today — see Mod Compatibility.
